PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium


I own this preamp. Is it really that good? I like it, but it is the only "good" preamp that I have ever owned. The reason I ask is because I want to get rid of my x250 and either get an xa-30.8 or get rid of my pre and just get a int-150. Any thoughts??

Tswisla, You're welcome. I think you have a really nice system and I would just enjoy it.

If you still get the urge to tweak it now and then, you could try a little tube rolling. You probably know that Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio is the distributor for PrimaLuna and also has a great stock of NOS tubes. You could check with him and see what tubes he might recommend as an upgrade to the stock tubes.
Thank you again. I decided to pull the trigger on the xa-30.8. I hope that I made the right decision!
I think you'll like the 30.8! Let us know what you think after you've had some time to listen.

When you get around to it, try some NOS tubes as well. They can help dial your system in to right where you want it. Kevin Deal is who I would talk to about it based on his familiarity with the PrimaLuna.
I'm glad you asked this question!! I'm thinking of getting something really high end and saw the Dialogue premium HP integrated. Then I'm thinking preamp/amp.

Is the Primaluna preamp really all that? Why does it have two 5ar4 rectifier tubes and the integrated doesn't? I don't see many manufactures using 5ar4 tubes but the real expensive Preamps from some companies do.
